AVG Security enhances managed services solution for businesses
Millburn, NJ, June 4th, 2007 – GRISOFT, the developer of AVG Internet security software, announced the integration of its AVG Anti-Malware into the IT management framework of Kaseya, a global provider of Managed Service Automation (MSA) software for IT solution providers and corporate IT organizations. GRISOFT’s full malware protection is now integrated with Kaseya’s new end point security solution module, called Kaseya End Point Security (KES).
AVG Anti-Malware will run on the KES module to bring world-class security to endpoints managed with Kaseya’s IT framework by the company’s IT service provider and large, distributed corporate customers. The incorporation of the award-winning AVG Anti-Malware, a combination of AVG Anti-Virus and AVG Anti-Spyware, was made possible through an OEM agreement with GRISOFT.
"AVG is delighted to help make it easy for Kaseya's customers to protect against even the most malicious attacks and threats," said Larry Bridwell, Global Security Strategist of AVG. "We are always eager to contribute to the growth of emerging IT trends and our partnership with a leading MSA software provider like Kaseya is a great way for us to aid in the development of how managed services are delivered."
“Security is a major concern for anyone involved in the IT management industry and we have seen a substantial demand among our customers for security solutions that will work effectively within the Kaseya IT management frameworks," said Jim Alves, executive vice president of product marketing at Kaseya. "Kaseya is happy to be able to fulfill this need with an award winning product like AVG to ensure that our users have access to the best protection available."
Key features AVG Anti-Malware integrates into KES include:
- Virus, trojan and worm protection
- Spyware, adware and other malicious program protection
- Automated deployment- set it and forget it
- Integrated monitoring, alarms and detailed reporting
- Automated program and database updates

- E-mail protection
- File system protection (and NTFS data stream protection)
